First published in 1959 and having gone through numerous reprints, William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers has been a resource of prayers for fifty years. Although the language could maybe be a little more modern, there are some really great prayers contained in this little book. So for the next couple of weeks, we are going to go "old school"!
Here is today's prayer:
O God, our Father, who ever makest the light to shine out of the darkness, we thank Thee for waking us to see the light of this new day. Grant unto us to waste none of its hours; to soil none of its moments; to neglect none of its opportunities; to fail in none of its duties. And bring us to the evening time undefeated by any temptation, at peace with ourselves, at peace with our fellow-men, and at peace with Thee. This we ask for Thy love's sake. Amen.
From William Barclay's The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, page 24.
